I weighed 9lbs 13 oz

As I shared in a previous post, I made quite the entrance into this world — all 9 pounds 13 ounces of me! According to my Mom, I was only a few days shy of being a full month overdue. Can you imagine that happening today? Not a chance!

Back then, things were a little different. The doctor actually gave my Mom castor oil to get things moving… but not until she was extremely overdue - and let’s just say, it worked. Maybe a little too well. I arrived fast, big, and completely blue. Pretty scary stuff, as I’m sure you’d agree!

What about you? How much did you weigh when you were born? Was there anything memorable about your arrival, or was it a natural, calm entrance into the world?

I would love to hear your story. Feel free to share.
